A Warm Welcome to Big Sur

As a family travel writer, I’m always on the lookout for unique experiences that can be enjoyed by all ages. When I heard about the Big Sur Electric Bike Tour and its promise of scenic coastal exploration, I knew it was a must-try for our family. We met our guide, Martin, at the start of the Old Coast Road, right across from the entrance to Andrew Molera State Park. Martin’s cheerful demeanor and informative nature immediately put us at ease, especially since this was our first time on electric bikes.

Martin took the time to explain how to safely operate the e-bikes, which was a relief for us as first-timers. With two kids in tow, safety is always a top priority, and Martin’s clear instructions made us feel confident and ready to embark on our adventure. The kids were thrilled to try something new, and I could already see the excitement in their eyes as we set off on our journey.

The Ride of a Lifetime

The ride along the Old Coast Road was nothing short of spectacular. As we pedaled through the State Park, we were greeted by sweeping vistas of the Pacific Ocean and the lush greenery of the park. The kids were in awe of the breathtaking views, and I couldn’t help but feel grateful for the opportunity to share this experience with them.

Martin made sure to stop at all the stunning viewpoints, allowing us to capture the beauty of Big Sur in our family photos. The ride was a perfect blend of adventure and relaxation, with just the right amount of challenge to keep things exciting. The kids loved the thrill of riding on the dirt wagon road, and I appreciated the chance to connect with nature in such a unique way.

A Hidden Gem in the Forest

One of the highlights of our tour was a short hike to a beautiful stream nestled in the middle of a forest. After parking our bikes at the top, we took a ten-minute walk to this otherworldly spot. The kids were fascinated by the serene beauty of the stream, and it was a perfect opportunity for us to unwind and enjoy some quality family time.

The forest felt like a scene from a fairy tale, with towering trees and the gentle sound of the stream creating a magical atmosphere. It was a moment of pure bliss, and I couldn’t help but feel grateful for the chance to experience such a hidden gem with my family.

In conclusion, the Big Sur Electric Bike Tour was an unforgettable adventure that I highly recommend to families looking for a unique and memorable experience. The combination of stunning scenery, thrilling bike ride, and the chance to explore a hidden forest stream made it a perfect day out for our family.
